I'm glad people here "make sense"

Man other forums are frustrating. I've been surfing a few different Honda forums (my g/f has one). Holy crap, how the hell does anyone learn anything from those sites? No one there uses punctuation or uppercase characters, making it almost impossible to figure out what anyone is actually saying. It's SO frustrating. I'm glad people here can type!

I think it is because you are dealing with and older crowd here vs. gen.X at the Honda forums.

Well, you should see the fur fly here during the periennial DentuGrip vs. Polident debates. Tempers flaring, fists pounding on keyboards, no caps or punctuation...I won't even discuss the April 2006 site debacle over the best-fitting trusses.

That's because most of us went to school and actually learned something in English class (wether in the U.S. or abroad). (back in the day)

Hah! Remember the bruhaha over trifocals vs. bifocals? People were really starting to loose focus during that discussion.

Speaking of actually learning something in English class.

weth·er (plural weth·ers)
(n) castrated sheep or goat: a male sheep or goat that has been castrated before becoming sexually mature.

Funny - I learned "Whether" (back in the day)

No worries Larry - I do it all the time. Except with me it’s usually “weather”. Must have something to do with the career.

Well, the sentence is still grammatically correct. Larry was just informing us that castrated sheep can be found all over the world, not just in Congress.

That qualifies as instant karma, doesn't it?

Hmmm... I'm Gen X (31 yrs old) and none of my friends would hang around a Honda forum. They all either drive new Toyotas/Nissans/VWs or old Benzes/Audis. I think on a Honda forum you might well be dealing with generation Z.
